No one has ever looked at a subway map and thought, "This belongs in an art museum." But luckily all that is about to change thanks to South Korean design company Zero Per Zero. The company specializes in turning subway maps into stunning pieces of art.

Zero Per Zero has transformed several images of big city rail systems, including Paris, London, Tokyo, Seoul, and New York City, into aesthetically pleasing designs. The maps are all available for $20 for purchase at their online store.

It's truly remarkable to see how the company has been able to take an incredibly complex and intricate subway system like Tokyo's and make it look beautiful, navigable and inviting.
